The New Zealand Transport Agency has contacted Addington School about a proposal for high occupancy vehicle lanes on Brougham St. Photo: Geoff SloanThe New Zealand Transport Agency has contacted Addington School to address concerns raised in The Star last week over a proposal to install high occupancy vehicle lanes on Brougham St. NZTA had not contacted the school about the proposal before the article was published, causing board of trustees chairwoman Jo Robertson to raise concerns about the danger this could pose to pupils crossing the road on which the school is located. The school has been asking for safety measures near the school for about two years. Robertson received a phone call from an NZTA staff member on Thursday, soon after The Star’s article was published. She hopes the school will be able to give feedback on the proposal before its design starts, rather than after its finished.
